Transport for London has scheduled a wave of temporary closures across its network, this march for essential maintenance and upgrades. Almost every line will see disruptions, with most work happening over weekends to minimize daily impact.

Following frustrating tram suspensions in February, those services face more on and off issues, alongside changes to early morning and late night. Time tables. London overground lines, including delivery, Linus, Mildmay, suffragette, Weaver, and Windrush, will also shut down segments on multiple Sundays, and weekends. Commuters could face longer journeys, or crowded alternatives, so TFL urges everyone to check the online journey planner, before heading out.

The Elizabeth Line and Docklands Light Railway join in, with no service to places like Shenfield, Woolwich, Arsenal, and Bechton on various dates. Tram skip stops around Wimbledon, Corridan, and Beckenham too, stretching into early April in some spots.
